The first emporer of China had more than 800 clay Terra Cotta Warriors built to protect him in the afterlife. They were discovered by a farmer in the mid-70s. Many "tombs" are currenty under excavation to recover this hidden treasure of history. Is the farmer who discovered this a millionare? Hardly; he gets a living stipend of 1,000 RMB/month (less than $150).
